My wife grew up in a little mountain community that has almost ceased to exist as the older generation dies off. The lead and zinc mines closed in the late 60s and that was the end of the jobs so the younger generations moved away to where the work is. It's a shame; this close knit community, once rooted in stone is withering away.

Today.....

If you planted hope today in any hopeless heart. If someones burden was lighter,because you did your part. If you caused a laugh ,that chased some tears away. If tonight your name is named, when someone kneels to pray. Than your day has been well spent.....Author Unknown
